Node-RED in Bluemix

A visual tool for wiring the Internet of Things

IBM Watson IoT Platform

Node-RED provides a browser-based editor that makes it easy to wire together flows that can be deployed to the runtime in a single click.

The version running here has been customized for the IBM Watson IoT Platform.

We strongly suggest you secure your Node-RED flow editor with a username and password, as otherwise anyone who can guess the URL of this application will be able to launch the flow editor and access your IoT device data.

Using Node-RED with the IBM Watson IoT Platform QuickStart

Use Node-RED to build an application using the data from any device that you have connected to the IBM Watson IoT Platform.

Sample application

The sample has a ready-made flow that processes temperature readings from a simulated device. The flow checks these readings against a threshold, then tells you whether the temperature is safe. Imagine that we're monitoring a CPU temperature from a real device.
